welcome tosustainable genetics

We are a repository of old line, maternal efficiency genetics from breeds that were originally established as “Mother Cow” and “Meat Quality” sources. Cow maintenance costs are the single largest expense the commercial cattle producer faces annually. Our sires can realistically help enhance the profitability of your operation.

Unlike mainstream emphasis on EPD’s that insinuate each succeeding generation is “superior” to the previous, the genetics we offer represent many generations of “old”, long-lived, regularly producing, problem free cows……those cows that drive profitability!

While a large majority of the industry continues ignoring reproduction in favor of feedlot performance and carcass yield, we offer you alternative "convenience trait" genetics with the understanding that -

REPRODUCTION IS ESTIMATED TO BE WORTH:

10 TIMES MORE THAN GROWTH TRAITS

20 TIMES MORE THAN CARCASS TRAITS

Our bulls emphasize the "mother cow". When you get the cow right, everything else will fall into place. We subscribe to the words of the late Professor J.H. Knox, "every great bull had a great mother" and the more of them you can stack in a pedigree the better.

Pinebank Southeastmarches on.

We have two bulls left in our third crop of ET transfers and they look as good as anything we've raised. Now's your chance to tie in to over 5 decades of linebred selection on forages. You won't find a registered purebred herd with as much pre-potent fertility. For more information, follow the link to Pinebank Southeast.

Sustainable Genetics heads North

Gemstone Cattle Co.

We are pleased to announce a new partner in our efforts to preserve and promote the great maternal bloodlines that still thrive today. Gemstone Cattle Company, led by Arno and Daniel Doerksen of Gem, Alberta, have joined Sustainable Genetics as our Canadian distributors. Their philosophy and efforts match our resolve to promote reproductive longetivity and net profit. The Doerksen's work hard to build functional, sound cattle, and are great partners in the work of keeping ranchers profitable.

​We are extremely pleased to welcome CABA (Argentine Animal Biotechnology Center), Dr. Juan Martin Narbaitz & Family http://www.centrocaba.com.ar/ as our exclusive marketing representative in South America. We’ve been in discussions with Martin for several years regarding the sharing of genetics, philosophy & technology and we welcome this opportunity. We’ve had the good fortune of traveling with Martin & his son Dimo inspecting clientele herds and it is truly “uncanny” how our visual evaluation of beef cattle is so parallel! Their appreciation of the importance of "blood" (pedigree) and long lived problem free cows in the production model offers a platform for sustainability.

We continue expanding our beef (and dairy) bulls that are available for export. Please contact CABA for your semen/embryo needs in South America.

Created out of need

Our selection criteria for bulls we market semen from is quite simple:

Reproductive longevity is our highest priority. The dams of our bulls must have calved at two years of age and must maintain a 365 day calving interval. We have a great appreciation for teenage cows as some of our bulls are from cow(s) families that produced into their teens and beyond.

We have selected bulls from programs that build their success around great cows. Often these cows can be found stacked in the pedigrees, creating bulls with Prepotency. You can be assured our bulls offer genetic integrity unmatched in today’s mainstream AI industry.

Our bulls have been selected from minimal input seedstock operations or sourced from the commercial industry. They originate from old, pure, time tested, problem free, forage based genetics.
